I really do love shooting engagement sessions with couples, And Bri-Ellen and Nathan's shoot was as awesome as could be! After having her makeup beautifully done by Stacey Hipwell, they arrived at my studio so we could have a sort through some of their clothing options and work out what items of clothing would be best for each location.
Our first stop wasn't too far away at all, being the lounge in my studio. After spending a bit of time there we set off for one of my favourite local fields. We were lucky to get the images that we did in there, as the next day it was mown short. After spending some time in the field, we jumped back in my car and made our way towards Newcastle so we could use a variety of locations. Bri and Nathan's shoot took us everywhere, from Merewether, to Redhead and back to Newcastle.
While shooting at Merewether, the moody clouds finally decided to give way to a small downpour. So after running back to the car, we decided to head to the Fernleigh Tunnel so we could get some images without getting drenched. Thankfully the rain held out long enough for us to get a few images on top of Redhead Bluff, but by the time we got down to the beach, we could see the band of rain making its way up the beach. But instead of running for it, we made the most of it and whipped out the umbrella for a few photos dancing in the rain. By now it was starting to get darker, so we headed into Newcastle to get a last few images with Newcastle Beach lit up in the background.
What a great shoot! And thank you to Bri and Nathan who were happy to keep working with my crazy ideas in the rain!
